Vol.10 “You’re known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person.” -Derek Jeter, former professional baseball player who set groundbreaking records｜”This Quote Will Change you” by Takamasa Totsuka

The message of this quote is quite simple.

My interpretation of it is: “It’s important to achieve results when it comes to work, but it’s also important to do right as a human being.”

At what point in our lives does a message like this—seemingly one that is quite obvious—resonate with us the most? And from what kind of a person does it have to come in order to shake us to our core?

These words came from one of the most renowned players in Major League Baseball—someone who spent the entirety of his career playing for the New York Yankees, and retired two decades after his debut: Derek Jeter.

He is a well-known superstar with fans not just in the United States, but around the world.

During his 20-year career, the Yankees entered a golden age, successfully winning 7 American League Championships and 5 World Series Championships in total. Derek Jeter amassed 3,465 career hits, placing him 6th on the MLB all-time list.
